OpenAI's claims threaten researchers' careers
6h
OpenAI published purported AI solutions to hundreds of open mathematics problems, prompting Fields medalist Hugo Duminil-Copin to warn the work could harm young researchers’ prospects.
'Persistence costs were concentrated among participants who prompted AI to solve tasks for them directly. Using AI for hints or clarifications did not produce significant impairments.'

Mise en lumière du travail de gouniaffiers de l’IA. En face des politiciens abrutis, incapables d’une réponse à la hauteur du défi : la destruction du désir et du plaisir de la découverte et ce pour vendre un travail mal dégrossi. De l’argent contre le plus haut !

Pour Hugo Duminil-Copin, à propos des scientifiques et des mathématiciens en particulier : « toute cette culture de la circulation vole en éclats ».

I’m a bit sceptical about the AI line arxiv.org/pdf/2608.29843 and also there are papers taking the price of computation line further eg www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

‘Pure insanity’: Mathematicians will need years to make sense of OpenAI’s latest drop
Careers upended overnight, academics will have to separate solutions from slop while OpenAI moves on.
